Coin Flip — Heads or Tails, Instantly
—
One tap, one result, no coin required. It settles the things a rule book leaves open: who serves first, who takes which end, and which of two people who both want to go first actually does.
It really is fifty-fifty
Unlike a real coin, which lands very slightly more often on the face it started on, this one has no starting face and no spin. Both outcomes come from the same draw with the same weight, every time, with no memory of what came before.
Best of three
If one flip feels too abrupt, flip three times and take the majority. It changes nothing about the odds for either side, but it gives the loser a run of results to look at rather than a single word, which is usually the real complaint.
